Riding a season-best eight-game winning streak back into the playoff discussion, the New York Knicks hosted the reeling Cleveland Cavaliers at Madison Square Garden last night. With Kyrie Irving sidelined due to injury, the matchup seemed favorable for the Knicks on paper, but paper is not where games are won and lost.
Behind 31 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds from Jarrett Jack, the Cavs pulled off a 106-100 upset on the road. Dion Waiters chipped in with 22 points, while Carmelo Anthony led the way for New York with 32. The Knicks now trail the Atlanta Hawks by 3 games for the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference.
Though the Cavs and Knicks are both finishing up disappointing seasons, both teams are still among the league's best when it comes to collective sneaker game. Keez Cam attended last night's game at the Garden and snapped these close-up photos of the kicks that hit the court. Check out the lineup below and let us know who brought the most heat.
